Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of the main claim.
- EP 0 218 895 AI discloses a metering valve for metering liquids or gases, in particular an injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, which has a piezoelectric actuator, the length of which is transmitted to a valve needle controlling a metering opening when an excitation voltage is applied, and the stroke the valve needle determines.
- a piezoelectric actuator to compensate for temperature-related changes in length of the actuator, one end of the actuator rests on a damping piston which delimits a damping chamber filled with liquid.
- the steam chamber is connected to a compensation chamber via a throttle gap.
- the damping chamber and compensation chamber form a hermetically sealed, gas-free liquid cushion which, when the piezoelectric actuator is excited, fixes it stationary with respect to the housing.
- a disadvantage of the fuel injector known from EP 0 218 895 AI is in particular that the actuator is not sealed off from the medium flowing through the metering valve. If the metering valve z. B. for metering fuel into the combustion chamber or the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, this is essential since the fuel destroys the actuator. On the other hand, the sealing measures are a hindrance in the transmission of the stroke of the actuator to the valve needle, where friction and deformation energy lead to losses, and are susceptible to damage from the permanent load caused by the stroke and fuel pressure.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that, on the one hand, a reliable sealing of the actuator is possible, and this is thus reliably protected from damage by fuel, and on the other hand, the corrugated pipe seal responsible for the seal can be kept pressure-free, so that the endurance stability of the fuel injector is improved.
- the fuel injector has a corrugated tube seal which is fixed to the nozzle body and the actuating body, as well as seals between the components which are fixed to the housing and which, for example, have an O-ring shape.
- a gap seal is provided between the parts of the fuel injector through which the corrugated pipe seal and the fuel flows, which decouples pressure pulsations from the corrugated pipe seal. It is also advantageous that a return line removes the leakage from the gap seal and the volume enclosed by the bellows seal remains unpressurized.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic section through a first exemplary embodiment of a fuel injector designed according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic section through a second exemplary embodiment of a fuel injector designed according to the invention.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 The exemplary embodiments of a fuel injection valve 1 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designed in the form of fuel injection valves 1 for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engines.
- the fuel injection valves 1 are designed as externally opening fuel injection valves 1.
- the fuel injection valves 1 have a valve housing 2, which is inserted into a housing component 3.
- a nozzle body 4 is arranged between the valve housing 2 and the housing component 3 and has an axial through bore 5.
- a valve seat surface 6 is formed on the nozzle body 4 and forms a sealing seat with a valve closing body 7.
- the valve closing body 7 is non-positively connected to a valve needle 8 which is guided in the nozzle body 4.
- the valve needle 8 is guided in a sleeve 9 which is axially displaceable on the valve needle 8 and carries an annular flange 10.
- a valve closing spring 11 is supported between the annular flange 10 of the sleeve 9 and the nozzle body 4, as a result of which the sleeve 9 bears against a projection 13 of the valve needle 8 via a support disk 12.
- the valve closing body 7 is held in sealing contact with the valve seat surface 6 by the pressure of the valve closing spring 11.
- the valve housing 2 has an axial blind bore 14 with a stepped diameter, which comprises a first section 15 and a second, reduced-diameter second section 16.
- a piezoelectric actuator 17 is arranged in the first section 15.
- a damping piston 18 is arranged such that an annular gap 19 is formed between the damping piston 18 and the valve housing 2.
- the damping piston 18 bears against the actuator 17.
- E ne compression spring 20 is arranged in the valve housing 2 that the actuator 17 is acted upon in the direction of the valve needle 8 with a pressure.
- the spring force of the compression spring 20 is substantially smaller than the spring force of the valve closing spring 11, so that the fuel injector 1 is kept closed when the actuator 17 is deenergized.
- an actuating element 31 is arranged, which is in operative connection with the valve needle 8.
- a membrane 22 is formed between the valve housing 2 and a flange 21 which closes off the actuator 17.
- a compensation space 23 enclosed by this is connected to a damping space 24 via the annular gap 19, which acts as a throttle.
- the steaming chamber 24 and the compensation chamber 23 are filled with a suitable liquid and sealed off from the outside.
- the fuel is supplied via a central fuel supply 25 and is fed via a fuel channel 26 into a collecting space 28 of the fuel injection valve 1 to be directed from there through the nozzle body 4 to the sealing seat.
- the fuel injection valve 1 When the fuel injection valve 1 is closed, the fuel is present at the valve closing body 7 at a controlled pressure. If an excitation voltage is applied to the actuator 17, its axial length increases. The length change, which takes place very quickly, is transmitted to the valve needle 8 via the actuating element 31, as a result of which the valve closing body 7 lifts off the valve seat surface 6 and fuel is sprayed off. The movement is transmitted to the valve needle 8 without damping, since the liquid in the steaming chamber 24 is rigid with respect to rapid movements.
- the problem with the fuel injection valves 1 known from the prior art is that they are only suitable for operation as fuel injection valves 1 if the actuator 17 is sealed off from the fuel flowing through the fuel injection valve 1.
- a corresponding sealing measure in the transmission of the movement of the actuator 17 to the actuating body 31 is a hindrance since, due to the tightness, obstacles in the movement of the actuating body 31 automatically occur due to friction or deformation energy.
- the former can, as shown in FIG. 1, be achieved in that the actuator 17 is sealed in the area of the movable components by means of a corrugated tube seal 27, while components which are fixed to the house are sealed by a 0-ring-shaped seal 30, for example.
- the corrugated tube seal 27 is welded to the nozzle body 4 and to the valve needle 8.
- the fuel flows through the fuel channels 26 into a collecting space 28 and further through at least one inlet bore 29 in the direction of the sealing seat.
- the corrugated tube seal 27 is loaded both by the stroke of the valve needle 8 and by the pressure of the fuel.
- Corrugated tube seal 27 from the pressure pulsations, which in the parts of the fuel flow
- Fuel injector 1 prevail.
- Gap seal 32 is dimensioned such that in a volume 36 enclosed by the corrugated tube seal 27
- FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment variant for a fuel injection valve 1 designed according to the invention.
- fuel injector 1 can be designed identically to fuel injector 1 shown in FIG. 1.
- a repetitive description of components already described can therefore be dispensed with. Since the corrugated tube seal 27 is already heavily loaded by the combination of the stroke of the valve needle 8 and the static pressure, depending on the operating state of the internal combustion engine, an additional return line 34 is provided in FIG 35 leads away. As a result, the volume 36 enclosed by the corrugated tube seal 27 can be kept depressurized, which also reduces the load on the corrugated tube seal 27 and improves the endurance stability.
- the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiments shown and can be used for any construction of outwardly opening fuel injection valves 1.
- the individual features of the exemplary embodiments can be combined with one another as desired.
